Technical overview

Demand-Initiated Softening — Stratified Resin Bed

The ECR3702 (EcoWater 3700 Series Water Conditioner) pairs a patented electronics digital demand module, which captures historical usage patterns to predict future needs for precise regenerations, with a patented stratified resin bed — a layered mix of fine and standard-size resin. A water meter allows chemical feed dosing, flow switch operation and water-use information, and HydroLink Plus Wi-Fi sends alerts for excessive water use, system errors, low salt and service reminders.

A closer look

EcoWater ECR3702 Series two-unit residential water softener system — dark charcoal polymer mineral tank (with digital control head) alongside the shorter brine tank, both with pale grey mid-section belt, on a clean neutral background.

Explanatory illustration on navy: the two-tank EcoWater softener with the front of both tanks cut away. The taller resin tank shows one uniform bed of amber resin beads around a central tube; the shorter brine tank shows white salt pellets under water. A thin pipe enters the left of the control head and one leaves its right.
